Rancher-Gen-RAP

Fork from the excellent janeczku/go-rancher-gen

This fork is used to build adi90x/rancher-active-proxy.

This repo is auto build on push : Rancher-gen-RAP

This repo is build using Go 1.7 to enable nicer templates !

Original Readme give most information but those functions have also been added :

exist

Check if a file exist.

groupByMulti

Same function as default groupby but split label by sep in order to allow multiple input value in one label .

dict

Function from jwilder/dockergen : simple way to send multiple value to a template .

trimSuffix

Original Go strings.TrimSuffix function => get ride of the suffix .

closest

Function from jwilder/dockergen : get the best matching value from an array .

first

Function from jwilder/dockergen : get the first value from an array .

coalesce

Function from jwilder/dockergen : return first non nil value .

trim

Original Go strings.TrimSpace function

dirList

Function from jwilder/dockergen : list files from a directory .

Update Port struct and Host struct (to get the external ip containers are listening on ans standalone containers)

type Port struct {
    ExternalIp   string
	PublicPort   string
	InternalPort string
	Protocol     string
}

type Host struct {
	UUID        string
	Name        string
	Address     string
	Hostname    string
	Labels      LabelMap
	Containers  []Container
}

type Container struct {
	Name    string
	Address string
	Stack   string
	Service string
	Health  string
	State   string
	Labels  LabelMap
	Host    Host
	Ports   []ServicePort
}

Below is taken from the ORIGINAL README

Usage

Command Line

rancher-gen [options] source [dest]

options

Flag Description
config Path to an optional config file. Options specified on the CLI always take precedence.
metadata-version Metadata version string used when querying the Rancher Metadata API. Default: latest.
include-inactive Not yet implemented
interval Interval (in seconds) for polling the Metadata API for changes. Default: 5.
onetime Process all templates once and exit. Default: false.
log-level Verbosity of log output. Default: info.
check-cmd Command to check the content before updating the destination.
Use the {{staging}} placeholder to reference the staging file.
notify-cmd Command to run after the destination file has been updated.
notify-output Print the result of the notify command to STDOUT.
version Show application version and exit.

source

Path to the template.

dest

Path to the destination file. If omitted, then the generated content is printed to STDOUT.

Examples

rancher-gen --onetime --notify-cmd="/usr/sbin/service nginx reload" \
/etc/rancher-gen/nginx.tmpl /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
rancher-gen --interval 2 --check-cmd="/usr/sbin/nginx -t -c {{staging}}" \
--notify-cmd="/usr/sbin/service nginx reload" /etc/rancher-gen/nginx.tmpl /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

Configuration file

You can optionally pass a configuration file to rancher-gen. The configuration file is a TOML file. It allows you to specify multiple template sets grouped by template sections. You can specify the same options as on the command line. Options specified on the command line or via environment variables take precedence over the corresponding values in the configuration file. An example file is available here.

How to dynamically configure your applications with Rancher Metadata

You can bundle rancher-gen with the application image or run it as a service sidekick, that exposes the generated configuration file in a shared volume.

Bundled with application image

Download the binary from the [release page][release]. Add the binary to your Docker image and provide a mechanism that runs rancher-gen on container start and then executes the main application. This functionality could be provided by a Bash script executed as image ENTRYPOINT. If you want to reload the application whenever the Metadata referenced in the template changes, you can use a container process supervisor (e.g. S6-overlay) to keep rancher-gen running in the background and notify the application when it needs to reload the configuration (by sending it a SIGHUP for example).

Sidekick Container

Create a new Docker image using janeczku/rancher-gen:latest as base. Add the template(s) and configuration file(s) to the image. Expose the configuration folder as VOLUME. Run rancher-gen on container start, specifying relevant options as command line parameters.

Example acme/nginx-config sidekick image
FROM janeczku/rancher-gen:latest
COPY config.toml /etc/rancher-gen/
COPY nginx.tmpl /etc/rancher-gen/
VOLUME /etc/nginx
CMD ["--config", "/etc/rancher-gen/config.toml"]
Example Rancher Compose file
nginx:
  image: nginx:latest
  volumes_from:
  - config-sidekick
  labels:
    io.rancher.sidekicks: template-sidekick
config-sidekick:
  image: acme/nginx-config

Template Language

Templates are Go text templates. In addition to the built-in functions, rancher-gen exposes functions and methods to easily discover Rancher services, containers and hosts.

Service Discovery Objects

type Service struct {
	Name        string
	Stack       string
	Kind        string
	Vip         string
	Fqdn        string
	Ports       []Port
	Labels      LabelMap
	Metadata    MetadataMap
	Containers  []Container
}

type Port struct {
	PublicPort   string
	InternalPort string
	Protocol     string
}

type Container struct {
	Name        string
	Address     string
	Stack       string
	Service     string
	Health      string
	State       string
	Labels      LabelMap
	Host        Host
}

type Host struct {
	UUID        string
	Name        string
	Address     string
	Hostname    string
	Labels      LabelMap
}

The LabelMap and MetadataMap types implement methods for easily checking the existence of specific keys and accessing their values:

Labels.Exists(key string) bool
Returns true if the given label key exists in the map.

Labels.GetValue(key, default string) string
Returns the value of the given label key. The function accepts an optional default value that is returned when the key doesn't exist or is set to an empty string.

Metadata.Exists(key string) bool
Returns true if the given metadata key exists in the map.

Metadata.GetValue(key, default interface{}) interface{}
Returns the value of the given label key. The function accepts an optional default value that is returned when the key doesn't exist.

Examples:

Check if the label exists:

{{range services}}
{{if .Labels.Exists "foo"}}
{{do something}}
{{end}}
{{end}}

Get the value of a Metadata key:

{{range services}}
Metadata foo: {{.Metadata.GetValue "foo"}}
{{end}}

Using a default value:

{{range services}}
Label foo: {{.Labels.GetValue "foo" "default value"}}
{{end}}

Service Discovery Functions

host

Lookup a specific host

Optional argument
UUID string
Return Type
Host

If the argument is omitted the local host is returned:

{{host}}

hosts

Lookup hosts

Optional parameters
labelSelector string
Returned Type
[]Host

The function returns a slice of Host which can be used for ranging in a template:

{{range hosts}}
host {{.Name}} {{.Address}}
{{end}}

which would produce something like:

host aws-sm-01 148.210.10.10
host aws-sm-02 148.210.10.11

One or multiple label selectors can be passed as arguments to limit the result to hosts with matching labels. The syntax of the label selector is @label-key=label-value.

The following function returns only hosts that have a label "foo" with the value "bar":

{{hosts "@foo=bar"}}

The label selector syntax supports a regex pattern on it's right side. E.g. to lookup hosts that have a specific label regardless of the value:

{{hosts "@foo=.*"}}

If the argument is omitted all hosts are returned:

{{hosts}}

service

Lookup a specific service

Optional parameter
serviceIdentifier string
Returned Type
Service

The function returns a Service struct. You can use the Containers field for ranging over all containers belonging to the service:

{{with service "web.production"}}
{{range .Containers}}
http://{{.Address}}:9090
{{end}}
{{end}}

which would produce something like:

http://10.12.20.111:9090
http://10.12.20.122:9090

The syntax of the serviceIdentifier parameter is service-name[.stack-name]:

{{service "web.production"}}

If the stack name is omitted the service is looked up in the local stack:

{{service "web"}}

If no argument is given the local service is returned:

{{service}}

services

Lookup services matching the given stack and label selectors

Optional parameters
stackSelector string
labelSelector string
Return Type
[]Service

Just like with the hosts function multiple label selectors can be passed to select services with matching labels:

{{services "@foo=bar"}}

The stack selector parameter uses the syntax .stack-name:

{{services ".production"}}

Stack and label selectors can be combined like this:

{{services ".production" "@foo=bar"}}

If arguments are omitted then all services are returned:

{{services}}
